Hey guys,
I also have a copy of the Airborne mag Boomer plans. They have been sitting in a draw full of "to do" items for a few years. I am finally getting round to starting the project. I too want to scale up the plans, maybe to 1/5.
I am considering putting an SC FS400AR 5 cylinder radial up front, to give it a more realistic feel! I also plan to skin it in aluminium too. But upon reading all of the comments here I think I will need to review the rules on max model weights again. I will need to do some preliminary calculations to come up with a ball park weight before I start - if that is even possible!?
I have been away from the hobby for a few years and may need to brush up on all of the certification requirements, max. weights etc. Where can I go to find out this info - the MAAA website?
I would love to see this thread continue. If anyone knows of any other forums, websites or anything on this topic please let me know.
I can be contacted via

Thanks,
James.
P.S. Peter Gow does have suitable retracts for this model. I contacted him about him a few years back. I can't remember the price.
